LONG BRANCH – Kushner Cos. has purchased the Bungalow Hotel, located at Pier Village on the beachfront, the real estate group announced Tuesday.

The trendy 24-room boutique hotel opened in 2009.

The hotel was part of the original phases of Pier Village construction, which was part of a city redevelopment plan. The village is a mix of retail and residences at the city's beachfront.

“Since it first opened its doors...Bungalow Hotel has attracted both tourists and local guests with a creative spirit,” said Will Obeid, head of hospitality for Kushner. “We were impressed by the hotel’s spacious room layouts and vibrant design, which attracts an upscale clientele for both long-term and short-term stays.”

The hotel was owned by a Hoboken-based limited liability corporation called Bungalow PV.

Kushner acquired Pier Village in 2014 except for the hotel.

Kushner Cos. did not disclose the sale price. According to Monmouth County tax records, the Bungalow Hotel property was assessed at $4.2 million.

Kushner Cos. is run by the family of Jared Kushner, the President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser.

Kushner resigned as CEO of his family's real estate business in 2017 to join his father-in-law's White House staff. However, he still lists as assets property in Pier Village, the city's marquee beachfront attraction.

Kushner Cos. has had discussions with the Trump Organization to manage at least one hotel in the center of the new development at Pier Village.
